KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Two photos showing foreign workers wearing pink wristbands still working at a construction site which recently went viral, are of those who had undergone Covid-19 surveillance screening at the construction site, and not of close contacts to positive cases, says Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah (pic).

The Health director-general said the individuals involved were given pink bracelets to prevent them from leaving the construction site.
